History The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions were established through a gift of a Quaker merchant, Johns Hopkins, who wanted the Hospital and University built as a joint venture. Johns Hopkins was born into a very poor family in southern Maryland in 1795. His first name was inherited from his great-great-grandfather, Richard Johns. Because of the family’s financial troubles, he was forced to quit school at the age of 12. He went to work for his uncles and by the age of 19 he had established himself as a respected merchant. Eventually he went into business for himself and built a fortune of 7 million dollars before he died in 1873 at the age of 78. Hopkins never married but gave much thought to what would happen to his estate. He left 3.5 million dollars to build a hospital, for he said “There will always be suffering.” He also left 3.5 million dollars to build a joint university, “for there will always be youth.” His concept of the Hospital and the University as a joint venture was a revolutionary idea at the time that set the standard for future medical education in the United States. In his will he specified that the Hospital was “forever to serve the sick and ill of Baltimore without regard to race, age, sex or the ability to pay.” Drs. Welch and Osler, two of the famous “Hopkins Four’, brought other philosophies into the pattern of medical education in patient centered medical training and scientific research. Before the Hospital was established, physicians trained at medical schools without ever examining a real patient. The pattern established at The Johns Hopkins Hospital changed U.S. medical education forever by brining medical students to the bedside of patients and placing the practice of medicine on a scientific basis. The Johns Hopkins Hospital opened on May 7, 1898 followed four years later by The Johns Hopkins University along with the School of Medicine. The opening of the University and the School of Medicine ushered in a new era of medicine. Moving from laboratory to lecture hall to the patient’s bedside, students and interns brought the scientific approach to medicine and received first-hand training in diagnosis and treatment. Within two decades, the Hospital and School of Medicine were models of medical care and education for the nation. That distinction has remained intact for over 100 years. Johns Hopkins willed 13 acres of land in the city of Baltimore to erect the Hospital and wanted it to ultimately receive 400 patients. Today, The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions covers a 44 acre area, has more than 1,000 beds, and is recognized as one of the world’s leading medical institutions.
